Giorgione

Lettuce

Cichorium intybus

Overview
Dense, compact Castelfranco type. Attractive internal speckling intensifies in fall and is sometimes visible on wrapper leaves. Speckling and leaf shape can be variable, but Giorgione is reliably early and holds well in the field. Unlike the milder Bel Fiore, Giorgione balances classic chicory bitterness with pleasant sweetness, especially in fall.
